In the beautiful Yandang Mountain, with its numerous strange peaks, there is a tourist surnamed Liu. Liu Sheng is a young man who loves nature and is full of curiosity. He has always been longing for the beautiful scenery of Yandang Mountain and has specially come to appreciate the charm of this famous mountain this time.

The natural scenery of Yandang Mountain is intoxicating. The mountains undulate, and clouds and mist surround them, as if it were a huge landscape painting. The peaks here are in various shapes. Some are like sharp swords thrusting straight into the sky, some are like fairies dancing gracefully, and some are like giant dragons coiled on the earth. The mountain streams flow gurglingly, crystal clear with splashing water, as if playing a beautiful melody. In the forest, there are lush trees, birds singing and flowers fragrant. Various rare animals and plants multiply and live here, constituting a rich and colorful ecological world.

Liu Sheng, carrying his backpack and filled with excitement, stepped into Yandang Mountain. He strolled along the mountain path, admiring the surrounding beauty and taking out his camera from time to time to record these unforgettable moments. Suddenly, he heard a faint cry. Liu Sheng followed the sound and found an injured squirrel under a big tree.

There was a wound on the squirrel's leg, and blood was constantly oozing out. Its eyes were full of pain and fear. Its small body was curled up together, making people feel pity. Liu Sheng quickly put down his backpack and took out the first aid kit from it. He carefully bandaged the squirrel's wound, his movements as gentle as if he were treating a precious work of art.

During the bandaging process, the squirrel seemed to feel Liu Sheng's kindness and stopped struggling, lying quietly in Liu Sheng's hand. After bandaging the squirrel's wound, Liu Sheng took out some food and water and put them in front of the squirrel. The squirrel slowly ate the food, and gradually some luster returned to its eyes.

Liu Sheng looked at the squirrel, his heart full of relief. He knew that this squirrel needed time to recover from its injury, so he decided to put the squirrel in a safe place and let it recuperate at ease here. Liu Sheng found a dry tree hole and gently put the squirrel in it. He left some food and water beside the tree hole and then left silently.

As days passed, Liu Sheng continued to visit Yandang Mountain. He admired the beautiful scenery of Yandang Mountain and felt the charm of nature. However, one day, Liu Sheng got lost in the mountain. He originally planned to return to his accommodation along a path, but accidentally walked into an unfamiliar valley. This valley was filled with a thin layer of mist, making it impossible to see the direction. Liu Sheng looked everywhere for a way out, but the more he walked, the more confused he became.

Just when Liu Sheng felt desperate, a squirrel suddenly appeared in front of him. Liu Sheng took a closer look. Isn't this the squirrel he had rescued before? When the squirrel saw Liu Sheng, there was a kind look in its eyes. It led the way, and Liu Sheng followed closely behind.

The squirrel led Liu Sheng through a thick forest and then across a small stream. Finally, it led Liu Sheng to a familiar path. Liu Sheng was overjoyed. He knew that he had finally found a way out. Liu Sheng looked at the squirrel gratefully and said, "Thank you, little one. If it weren't for you, I might never be able to walk out of this valley." The squirrel seemed to understand Liu Sheng's words. It wagged its tail and then disappeared into the forest.

From then on, Liu Sheng's reverence for nature became even deeper. He deeply knew that in this mysterious mountain forest, there was a power beyond human understanding. This power stems from the mystery and greatness of nature and also from the mutual care and respect among lives.

In Taoist thought, it emphasizes the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature and believes that everything has a spirit. Liu Sheng's behavior reflects this thought. His kind act towards the squirrel is not only respect for a life but also reverence for nature. And the squirrel's return also made him more deeply understand the mystery and greatness of nature.

After Liu Sheng returned home, he would often think of that squirrel. He decided that he would cherish the lives in nature even more in the future and protect them with his own actions. He also began to tell people around him about his experience, hoping that more people could understand that we are an integral part of nature and we should respect and protect every life in nature.

As time passed, Liu Sheng's story spread in the Yandang Mountain area. More and more people were influenced by him and began to pay attention to the lives in nature and learn to live in harmony with them. And that squirrel has also become a legend of Yandang Mountain. People often see it in the mountain forest. It seems to be the messenger of nature, reminding people to live in harmony with nature.

This story is full of interest and mystery. Liu Sheng's kindness and bravery, and the squirrel's wit and gratitude make people full of awe and yearning for nature. At the same time, this story also tells us that in life, we should respect every life and live in harmony with nature. Only in this way can we obtain true happiness and peace.
